You’re a very nice man, seeing your reaction to REN confirms my view. He is, assuredly, an awesome human being, he’s suffered so much yet, conversely, he’s so gifted it’s frightening. He deserves all the success that he receives, whether financial or in abundant love. I hope your channel continues to grow & that you also grow in prosperity & happiness. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸

[@tjh5716]

My wife’s ancestors are from Cornwall. From the states. We don’t know much but we are researching.

[@hazmania]

@@tjh5716 you have much to be proud of. There are people all over the world with Cornish ancestors, there was a huge migration when our mines started failing. America, Mexico, Spain, Australia, anywhere with a history of mining, you’ll find Cornish links. “By Tre, Tor, Pol & Pen, so ye’ll know the Cornishmen”! Happy researching

[@jorice5528]

100% agree with Annie ❤

[@GarnetJ]

Ren is not only talented in so many ways, but he’s an absolute inspiration. He’s been through SO much and yet has maintained such kindness and empathy towards others. He practices what he preaches. I agree, he deserves every ounce of success

[@JimBliss23]

Ren's a hell of an artist, isn't he? I pretty much gave up on the idea that a new artist would ever affect me the way the music of my youth did. And that's understandable, right? When you're younger everything is new. You're full of passion and expectation and the world doesn't weigh as much. You haven't got jaded and life -- for most of us anyway -- hasn't yet forced you to grow that thick layer of cynicism. Last time I heard a new record that moved me to tears was Bowie's final album in 2016. And while that music was new, Bowie hardly was! And then Ren came along. He's a "top 10" artist for me now -- genuinely never thought I'd encounter one of them again. Gives an old dude a little bit of faith.

[@annasaunders2167]

I liked your thoughts on the RenEffect in your life. Your description of youth was poetic and bittersweet. Another satisfied cult, er, book club member !! ☺

[@belgand5555]

Exactly how I feel… Ren is the only artist that I can feel the magic since Bowie left this planet… I love so many artists but I adored Bowie and now Ren… they are different!♥️🫶🏻♥️

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Exactly this!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

It's so beautiful that, as others have said, Ren didn't take the opportunity of getting 1 million followers to make a celebration video, be loud & woo hoo!! No, he took the opportunity to thank everyone who helped him, to focus on those who are still in pain, like he was, and try to give them some hope & tell them they're seen & important to the community. He shared how going through such pain as he did, where he absolutely thought he may not survive, has allowed him to create such beloved art & art that helps himself & others heal. That's a real person, right there, not some caricature of a musician celebrating a big success! It's why so many people love him. Thanks for watching this with us!

[@princessmigo]

I don't think reactors piggy back off anyone's work. I pick the reactors I like to watch because of something THEY bring to the table not just the music they pick.

[@oldmanmetaldude]

I agree, but there are those who think otherwise.

Okay Dude, you got me on this one. I love all your videos but this one was fantastic! Full dosclosure: I'm one of the folks who asked for this one. Something just told me it would resonate with you. You've got a big heart and I can't wait to follow your journey through Ren's catalog. Just subbed, so I'm here for it all!

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Thank you for suggesting it, I loved his message

[@iamsquatty]

Ren must be protected at all costs. Hes such a precious human bean 😊💜

[@portiadavenport9866]

Protected from who/what exactly? I see people making this statement and it's pretty daft really :)

He is a good human.

[@salishseamermaid]

Ren is such a fine human being.

[@Shiroar]

Thank you. This is such an important video to understand not only Ren but why the RENegades love him so dearly. He truly lives by the saying “a rising tide lifts all ships” and just wants to inspire positive change in the world. And while he believes it’s his responsibility with the platform and following he has built, I think we would all understand if he didn’t put so much heart and effort into anything beyond his art cause he definitely has enough to deal with. But despite all his personal struggles, here he is trying to project love outwards to all of us. A beautiful soul and a big heart ❤

[@SandraP3796]

Ren is a gift to all of us ❤. He’s beautiful inside and outside. An amazing human being. Thank you for sharing some of your story with music.

[@ezrasace]

Ren is an amazing human being we are blessed to hear his music and his words. Thank you for reacting.

[@annfarmer9704]

I have been blown away, I have laughed and cried with this amazing young man that I have never met. I am so grateful for all of it. it seems the longer you experience his music, a healing seems to take place. Ren not only evokes emotions withing in you, but if you send out the love - positive vibes- he reflects that right back at you. but it also somehow becomes a collective... everyone that sends that love to Ren - what he sends back out and we receive is from all of the RENegades. if we ever get to see Ren live, I believe we will feel that positive force miles before arriving....I wouldn't be surprised if the positive power has all of us floating an inch off the ground on our way into the show! all the best to you! 🌸🎶🙏🎶🌸

[@JasonBernardo]

The best was back in October when Sick Boi was up against Rick Astley’s new album for the top of the UK charts. That clip of Ren and his best buds gathered around the radio, hearing the announcement that he did it!! Sick Boi was #1!!! Man, I’ve never been happier for someone I never met.

[@gwynethzen77]

Also, Ren lets people monetize his videos! I’ve seen him commenting saying if you get a copyright strike just appeal it and it’ll go thru! Part of his spreading the love! ❤

[@oldmanmetaldude]

I have not seen that, I would not feel right doing it without him telling me himself that I could. I am not surprised though, he is one of the few artist I have seen who acknowledges reaction creators.

[@Psyco913]

@@oldmanmetaldude Like he said in the video (a rising tide raises all ships), Ren believes he has a symbiotic relationship with the reactor community. The money that monetized reactors make off of reacting to his videos is not money that he would have gotten anyway, so he's not losing anything. In fact, even the smaller reactors are bound to have viewers in their audience who will find Ren through their reactions, so supporting reactors only serves to benefit him. The only reason there is such a stigma against reactors is that most of the bigger artists on this platform are signed (I'm sure you are aware by now that Ren is independent), so it's not the artists themselves that are going after reactors, but their labels. The labels have a much more parasitic view of the reactor community and want to have complete control over how their artists are represented.

[@patriciaobrien6600]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love seeing how much this touched you. It helps us to know u better too ❤❤❤

No matter how many times I see Ren's speech, I always end up with tears. Thank you for your reaction. ❤

[@user-tz3dh6bu1p]

Why we love Ren ! And I am a 69yo rocker and see more in this artist then I have really ever seen. And I have seen a lot.. Careful the more you know about Ren the more his music affects you , It brings a lot of his lyrics into focus !! Thanks for your obvious empathy !

Beautifully said, both you and Ren. He expresses everything I want to say, but haven't been able to. 🤩🤩

So much to check out with Ren! Please react to Power, Chalk Outlines, Genesis, How to Be Me, Crutch, Diazepam, Ocean, Hunger and Humble (some of which are collaborations). Amazing!!❤

[@cathrinewitty6749]

All I can say is how flipping proud his parents must be, I truly feel privileged to be alive at the same time as Ren. I can’t wait to see what you make of The Money Game trilogy.

[@DogDocKat]

Ren is truly special and precious. There are no words that can express how much I owe him. He has literally saved my life and is a daily inspiration to keep fighting and to be a better human. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this special video 💜💜

[@Clarkchapin]

One thing I really appreciate about Ren is how he lends his success and voice to others and, like you, he is an inveterate musical forager and he likes to share his bounty, ie “look/listen to what I think is phenomenal”. Dirt Miller is one of the artists he turn his light on last year and I’d love to catch your reaction to his song “Kansas City”. I think you’ll see why Ren lifted this piece up. And the effect of that on Dirt Miller and his career and path in music has been remarkable. Keep sharing and keep the circle growing. Appreciate you!

[@gwynethzen77]

Motherfucker making me cry! Yes yes yes! Same! 😂 he’s a beautiful human being and we need more like him out there. Thanks for reacting to it!! ❤

Thank you 😊 Hi from the UK 🇬🇧

[@Jonz808]

I discovered music reactors during the Pandemic and wow I was introduced to so many artists globally that I would not have heard without this platform. The reactors have spread music artists outside the mainstream and in a way, created fan group names such as the Dears and the Renegades who support each other as artists. GREAT work you all do!

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Thank you so much for your comment! started my channel to be introduced to artists outside of my usual exposure and Ren was recommended to me early on and my life is much better for it! I have never understood Artist who dismiss reactors and what we do, as we are basically independent music reviewers. Yes music reactors would not exist without musicians, but reaction videos can get the music more exposure for free. And trust me, we Musicians love free exposure haha

[@Bonjovicrzy]

Loved the reaction , Ren has a way to touch hearts for sure ..and thank you for touching hearts too it is nice to see someone really appreciate the music and a artist ,,,

Ren for president🙌🩵 Great reaction! Thank you!🤘❤

[@spruce381]

It’s not piggy backing - it’s doing what the BBC was set up for - educating, informing and entertaining - any artist with nouse should love that. And why not make a dollar - journos. DJs and A&R make money doing the exact same. 😎👍

[@oldmanmetaldude]

The difference is all in the legalities. Journalists obtain permission to use sections of songs, A&R involves contracts to promote artists etc. I'll be the first to put my hand up and admit that I do what I do unsolicited and I respect the artist rights to their creation. KZbin has strict copyright rule which I agreed to when I became part of the partner program. If people want to help me with monetisation, I'd ask that they go watch the videos on my channel of my band as those im happy to accept haha

And if you watch his Instagram or his Twitch streams, he's hilarious to boot! Just an all around good person who deserves all the happiness after all he's been through. He truly inspires me to be better. I've become so much more generous due to him. #TheRenEffect

If you have the viewers and the hours Ren allows reactors to monetize his videos, because it takes nothing from Ren's pocket. Yet it can put something into yours.

Hi - fellow Aussie (I think I’m correct on your accent). Anyway, I went down the Ren rabbit hole almost a year ago - not a rap fan but I recognised his genius immediately. I was even happier to watch REN’s growth, humanity & humility. Anyway with that said, you should check out an artist called Livingston. He’s just incredible & has a huge background story as well. 🌟

Beautiful reaction! ❤️ Well, if you wanted positivity today, you got it! Much of Ren's work can be dark, but I think that's his way of expressing the bitterness he speaks of here and letting it go. Ren definitely has positive and uplifting music, too. Fun, cheeky stuff that makes you laugh. You just never know what you're going to get when you start a new Ren song! A fun one that's in homage to The Beastie Boys old school style is, "What You Want." Give it a listen!
